I couldn’t choose a single favorite yarn — but if I had to make list of my top ten picks for best yarns ever, Knitpicks Simply Cotton Worsted yarn would definitely be on it. I’m a huge fan of this yarn. So if you want the short version of this product review, you can stop reading right now and simply go buy this yarn. Or read on for more details about why this yarn is one of my favorites.

“Simply Cotton Worsted” is a 100% organic cotton yarn that an online retailer known as “Knitpicks” manufactures. The yarn is available in two weights; the worsted weight version is the subject of this yarn review, and there’s also a sport weight version of the yarn available.

It’s exciting to think about all the design possibilities you have at your fingertips with two different yarn weights available. If you like making coordinating sets of items and you need worsted weight yarns for some of the items and sport weight yarns for the others, this yarn is an outstanding choice for that.

Yarn Specifications

The Simply Cotton Color Palette — In the past, Knitpicks used to make a wonderful variety of heathered and natural colors of this yarn available. The dyed colorways have been discontinued. Last time I checked, the natural / undyed color with the color name “Marshmallow” was the only one available.

Price I Paid for the Yarn — $4.99 and $5.99 US Dollars (There were two different prices; the higher price was for the dyed yarn colors when they were previously available, and the lower price is for the natural “Marshmallow” color.)

Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price for the Yarn — This is the same price I paid; Knitpicks is actually both the manufacturer and the retailer.

Care Instructions — Unlike some of the other organic cotton yarns I’ve seen for sale, this yarn can be machine washed and tumble dried. WOOHOO! That makes it an outstanding choice for all kinds of things ranging from kitchen projects to baby items and kids’ clothes.

Yarn Quality:

I’ve been exceptionally pleased with the quality of Simply Cotton yarn. So far, I’ve used five different balls of it, and I’ve only found one flaw between all five. That’s outstanding.

Yarn Softness:

Simply Cotton yarn is incredibly soft. It’s delightful to touch and lovely to work with.
